Stop, Clean & Jerk
It’s important to stop and appreciate all you have daily. This morning – I included a pic of my kids getting ready to leave for school this morning. They bring me so much joy and teach me so much every day. I can’t imagine my life without these 2 rascals and I am glad I…

Getting to know Kip.
No falls this morning at Crossfit Impavidus – that was a bonus right there. My friend Oy came to the 6A class & added an extra element of fun. And the same people are showing up to the class so it’s becoming more like home to me every day. I am really liking Coach Nick.…

Well hello, Fran!:Crossfit WOD
Today I met Fran. For those familiar with Crossfit, Fran is a benchmark WOD. Long time Crossfitters all know their “fran” time. Fran: 21-15-9 65lb Thrusters Pull ups (green band assisted) Fran time: 6:35 Some caveats to my time: For some reason I had it in my head to power clean every rep in the…

My shoulders and arms are already hurting and its less than hour since we used them! Warmup 2x 20 air squats 20 Jumping…

Back Squats
Headed to Crossfit Impavidus this morning. CFI is closer and the class starts 15 mins later than my old camp so I get to sleep in a bit more and still get home at the same time. That’s a win in my book — Today was strength day: Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3. What this means is…

Wake up to a Hang Snatch
Woke up at 5a as usual this AM and we had about 9in on the ground. I had shoveled a bit last night so it was possible that I was going to be able to leave for boot camp this AM. Scotty told me that I shouldn’t consider it — the roads looked icy but…

CFI Workout
Today was a Plumbline rest day so I headed to Crossfit Impavidus for a morning workout. I have been wanting to do an early morning WOD with some of the new group. I woke up to snow but as you know — that’s not something that will stop me. I got there and one other…
